Abstract
This report describes a rare case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) concurrent with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) without traditional risk factors, such as hepatic fibrosis or chronic hepatitis. Initially presenting with hematuria, incidental imaging revealed a liver lesion, later diagnosed as moderately differentiated HCC. Notably, the patient had no history of well-established risk factors of HCC including viral hepatitis or liver cirrhosis. CLL/SLL was unexpectedly discovered in the surgical specimen during the hepatectomy. This case challenges traditional perceptions of HCC etiology, suggesting a potential link between HCC and CLL/SLL even without established risk factors.
